my day at work



Firearms Training Unit, FBI Academy. Me and an MP-5. Yes, Virginia...50 rounds of 9mm full auto goodness.

Also shot a Glock 40SW with a good grouping (one stray), and did the situation simulator. I barely got the perp before he pulled a hidden gun that he had taped to the wall. Squeezed of 4 lethal shot .2 seconds before he fired.

I love my job...

Is that a new job? I don`t see the connection with your artsy websy activities, but maybe I did not fully grasp the scope of your duties...

Todd,
is that rifle butt gonna leave a bruise the way it is resting? Then again I don;t know how much (if any) kick those have. My guess would be a supersoaker has more kick.

that thing has almost zero kick. It does rise in full auto mode though.

My job is very interesting. Artsy web is only a small slice of what i do.

Those guns are even more fun when someone else is paying for the ammo.

OK, now I get it. There IS a vast conspiracy. Pelican parts is rigged with the FBI, and slowly, dissidents against the Bush regime are uncovered and sent to Guantanamo bay. Fastpat must be wearing an orange jumpsuit by now

note of history regarding FBI and HK-MP-5's. FBI found out in tense situations entire stick of 15-30-40 rds let loose with few hits on bad guys.

went back to HK-94(same damn thing except semi-auto) and more rounds were placed on target w/better kill results and less bad guys to deal with in court.

kinda a parallel with the M-14 full auto being pulled from grunts and then reissued semi-auto.

3 rd burst NAVY trigger group also a lot of fun.


how do i know all this? well thats a secret(and the fact ive been shooting hk's since i was 18)..........but RDTS.com only lives a few miles from me and he is THE HK GURU IN ARIZONA.

Why would one wear a tie to firearms training? Let alone a dress shirt and slacks?
